Monterey Park's major corridors and intersections see frequent collisions. If you were injured at any of these locations, we can investigate your case and hold the at-fault driver accountable:
I-10 Freeway accidents: High-speed merging, lane changes, and rear-end collisions cause serious injuries on the 10.
Atlantic Boulevard collisions: Heavy traffic, multiple lanes, and distracted drivers make Atlantic Boulevard one of the most dangerous roads in Monterey Park.
Garvey Avenue intersection accidents: Left-turn crashes, failure to yield, and red-light violations injure drivers and pedestrians at Garvey Avenue crossings.
Garfield Avenue incidents: Speeding and aggressive driving lead to multi-vehicle pileups and T-bone crashes on Garfield.
Shopping center parking lot accidents: Backing collisions, pedestrian accidents, and low-speed impacts in crowded lots at Atlantic Times Square and other retail areas cause injuries that insurance companies try to minimize.
We investigate accident scenes, review police reports from the Monterey Park Police Department, and gather evidence to prove fault. If you were hurt, we fight to show that the other driver's negligence caused your injuries.
Types of Car Accidents We Handle
The Injury Law Firm represents Monterey Park clients injured in all types of car accidents:
Multi-vehicle collisions: Chain-reaction crashes on the 10 Freeway or at congested intersections often involve multiple at-fault parties. We pursue every liable driver and insurer.
Rear-end accidents: Distracted or speeding drivers fail to stop in time, causing whiplash, back injuries, and head trauma.
T-bone/side-impact crashes: Drivers who run red lights or fail to yield at intersections cause devastating side-impact collisions that lead to broken bones, internal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
Hit and run accidents: If the at-fault driver fled the scene, we help you file an uninsured motorist claim with your own insurance company and investigate to identify the driver.
Pedestrian accidents: Monterey Park's busy streets and crosswalks see frequent pedestrian crashes. We hold drivers accountable when they strike people in crosswalks or parking lots.
Motorcycle accidents: Motorcyclists suffer catastrophic injuries when cars fail to see them or violate their right of way.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist claims: If the at-fault driver had no insurance or not enough coverage to pay your medical bills, we file a claim against your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy.
Every case is different. Call us for a FREE consultation to discuss your accident and your legal options.
The steps you take right after a crash can protect your health and strengthen your legal claim. Follow this checklist:
Step 1: Call 911. Report the accident to the Monterey Park Police Department. An official police report documents the crash, the location, the drivers involved, and any citations issued.
Step 2: Seek medical attention immediately. Go to the emergency room at Garfield Medical Center or another nearby hospital, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, whiplash, concussions, internal bleeding, do not show symptoms for hours or days. A medical record links your injuries to the accident and prevents insurance companies from claiming you were not hurt.
Step 3: Document the scene. If you are able, take photos of vehicle damage, skid marks, traffic signs, and your visible injuries. Get contact information from the other driver, their insurance details, and witness names and phone numbers.
Step 4: Do NOT speak to the other driver's insurance company. Adjusters will call you within hours, asking for a recorded statement. They use your words against you to deny or minimize your claim. Politely decline and tell them to contact your attorney.
Step 5: Contact The Injury Law Firm before you sign anything. Insurance companies push lowball settlement offers before you know the full extent of your injuries. We review every document, negotiate with adjusters, and fight to recover maximum compensation. Call us at (800) 597-5596 for a FREE case review.
Most Monterey Park car accidents happen because drivers make dangerous choices. If any of these caused your crash, you may be entitled to compensation:
Distracted driving: Texting, eating, adjusting the radio, or talking on the phone takes a driver's eyes off the road and causes rear-end collisions and lane-departure crashes.
Speeding on major corridors: Drivers who exceed the speed limit on Atlantic Boulevard, Garvey Avenue, or the 10 Freeway cannot stop in time to avoid collisions.
Failure to yield at intersections: Running red lights or failing to yield the right of way causes T-bone crashes that injure drivers and passengers on the side of the vehicle.
Drunk driving: Impaired drivers cause catastrophic accidents. If a drunk driver hit you, we pursue maximum compensation and hold them accountable.
Aggressive driving: Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and road rage lead to high-speed collisions and multi-vehicle pileups.
Poor vehicle maintenance: Bald tires, faulty brakes, and broken headlights cause accidents. If a mechanical failure contributed to your crash, we investigate whether the driver or a third party is liable.
We investigate every accident to prove fault. Our attorneys review police reports, interview witnesses, and consult with accident reconstruction experts to build a strong case for compensation.
Compensation Available in Car Accident Cases
If you were injured in a Monterey Park car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical expenses: Emergency room visits, surgery, hospitalization, prescription medications, physical therapy, and future medical care.
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity: If your injuries forced you to miss work or left you unable to return to your job, we fight to recover every dollar of lost income.
Vehicle damage and rental car costs: We demand payment for repairs or the fair market value of your totaled car, plus rental car expenses while your vehicle is in the shop.
Pain and suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment of life deserve compensation. We fight to show how the accident changed your daily life.
Permanent disability or disfigurement: Catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, or amputations may leave you with lifelong limitations. We demand compensation that reflects the full impact on your future.
Insurance companies try to minimize payouts. We negotiate aggressively and, if necessary, take your case to trial to recover maximum compensation.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in California?
California's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss the deadline, you lose your right to sue. Insurance claims move faster, but adjusters pressure you to settle quickly for less than your case is worth. Call us immediately after your accident so we can protect your rights and meet every deadline.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
If the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, you can file a claim against your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. California law requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage, though you can waive it in writing. We review your policy, file the UM/UIM claim, and fight your own insurance company if they try to deny or undervalue your case.
How is fault determined in a Monterey Park car accident?
Fault depends on the evidence: police reports, witness statements, photos, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction. California uses pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. If you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you receive $80,000. We investigate to minimize your share of fault and maximize your recovery.
Will I have to go to court?
Most car accident cases settle through negotiation with the insurance company. If the insurer refuses a fair settlement, we file a lawsuit and take your case to trial. Our trial attorneys fight in court to recover maximum compensation. You do not pay extra if your case goes to trial; our contingency fee stays the same.
Do you offer services in Chinese?
Yes. Our bilingual staff speak Mandarin and Cantonese. We meet with Monterey Park clients in their preferred language and explain every step of the legal process clearly. Call us at (800) 597-5596 to schedule a FREE consultation in English or Chinese.
What if my injuries did not appear until days after the accident?
Delayed injuries, whiplash, concussions, soft tissue damage, are common after car accidents. Adrenaline masks pain, and some conditions take days or weeks to show symptoms. See a doctor immediately, even if you feel fine, and call us to discuss your case. We connect you with medical providers at no upfront cost and fight to link your delayed injuries to the accident so insurance companies cannot deny your claim.
